UK special forces could face prosecution over Afghanistan allegations
Original: UK special forces could face prosecution as Afghanistan evidence referred to police https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/articles/
Evidence relating to the conduct of UK special forces in Afghanistan has been referred to police, raising the possibility of criminal prosecution against serving or former personnel. The move follows a long-running inquiry into allegations of unlawful killings during deployments. The referral marks a significant escalation in scrutiny of Britain's elite military units and their oversight.
Why now: A formal police referral over alleged misconduct by UK special forces in Afghanistan is a major accountability development in an ongoing controversy.
